Full browser width bars & overflow-x problem

So I'm trying to figure out a CSS way (also open to js/jquery solutions) to extend a div the length of the screen and not produce a horizontal scrollbar. My problem becomes that when the browser is resized and text is clipped it doesn't show a scrollbar (as it normally would) because I've set my overflow-x selector to hidden, and I can't figure out a solution.

Hi, looks like you are over engineering to me. Why not just put the #wrap to 100% or 99% rather than introducing a fixed width and then over ruling it. Also I do not understand the #header overflow hidden being used to clear floats when I cannot see any floats as having been introduced at that point. Keep it simple. Jim

I'm trying to have the page centered within a 960px wrap; if i change the wrap from 960px to 99%, then everything moves to the left and right of the screen and leaves the middle completely devoid.

My issue still is figuring out a good way to have full browser width bars; the way I have it accomplishes it, but at the expense of losing the horizontal scroll when re-sized.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder; I guess. That site is not one I would considered technically worth much. It looks like it has not been touched in over a year (last blog post was Mar 2011). It has no flexibility, and is using an ancient doctype. It is just an old fashioned Wordpress template. Basically it looks like a million other sites, and I don't see that it has much to offer; and it is certainly not something you want to learn from.

Sure. But still no solution to my question? How to get browser width bars like that?
